Avionics conundrum!

Hi guys. I have a 1982 Piper Warrior 2, it's instrument equipped with no auto pilot and I have avionics issues. First, my yoke mount Garmin 295 has screen problems and is getting hard to read, something wrong with the screen and probably not worth repairing. Secondly, my KX 155 comm display is only working intermittently so sometimes I can't see my comm's frequency, Nav side is fine for now. I have no ADS- B system in the plane. I plan on selling this plane and getting a Cherokee 6 but I need to get this plane right to sell it and I don't want to spend dollars unnecessarily. So, I need a Nav/Com radio, GPS, and an ADS-B in/out to make this plane a fully equipped trainer. Engine is great with 1,000 hours till TBO. Do any of you gentlemen have recommendations about what I should do? Do they make a single unit that would perform all three of these functions? I'm going to call an avionics place and see what they recommend but I would really like input from this group. I'm located in West Tenn. Any recommendations for a good avionics shop in or near West Tenn?

I assume that with an otherwise solid trainer I'd recoup the cost of upgrading the avionics? It won't be a trainer after 2020 without ADS-B installed anymore.

Thanks in advance!
